Seniors reflect on career and “last tackle”

The Florida Gators finished their fourth practice in preparation for the bowl game. They would soon be let out to head home and be with their families for the holiday but there was one more thing they needed to take care of.

The senior class at Florida has been through a lot and their time is running out. The last order of business in Gainesville was the senior tackle.

Just like in the movie Rudy, the team would split up on either side of the hash marks forming a tunnel as each senior would get the chance to say a few words, run through the tunnel and hit a tackling dummy one last time.
